Internet Management System

Schools must use the internet to make learning richer and more interactive... but this incredible tool also brings new threats and challenges.

The Sonar Internet Management platform is the product of choice for hundreds of Australia’s schools, helping them to take full advantage of the internet. Sonar is a fully integrated Internet Management platform that provides a comprehensive compliance, optimisation, and security solution in a single box.

Compliance

  • Sonar offers a tailored Web filtering solution to ensure compliance to school duty of care policy 
  • Sonar is able to filter, track, and report all internal and external mail traffic, including web forums and social networking sites to improve students’ on-line behaviour 
  • Sonar prevents students from using independent internet connections and anonymous proxies to enforce compliance to school duty of care policy
  • Sonar continuously analyses and prevents undesirable emails, protecting all your students from commercial and inappropriate messages and increasing your staff’s productivity
  • Sonar and MySonar allow students, staff, and parents to view and track internet usage through a self service portal, thus improving accountability and encouraging students and staff to conform to appropriate usage
  • Sonar maintains the same acceptable use policy on and off campus, extending school duty of care policy to student homes

Optimisation

  • The Sonar platform consolidates the features of multiple products into one fully integrated Internet Management appliance thus reducing product, integration, support, and administration costs
  • Sonar enables and prioritises internet allocation, prevents repetitive downloading, and load balances internet services which results in a faster internet, a reduction of internet consumption & data costs, and a fairer distribution of the internet resource
  • Sonar enables implementation of quota, cost, and throttling control systems which allows control of internet consumption as well as internet cost reduction
  • Sonar provides a fully redundant system to maximise availability; if a system fails, Sonar will immediately failover to its second system, maintaining complete service availability and providing you with total peace of mind
  • Sonar can distribute administration between IT and non-technical users, thus reducing administrative burden for IT staff and improving resolution times

Security

  • Sonar provides a comprehensive Unified Threat Management (UTM) solution that dramatically improves your security posture, increases productivity, reduces the risk of litigation, and enforces policy compliance
  • Sonar enables flexible network partitioning to prevent unauthorised access, ensuring complete information privacy and confidentiality
  • Sonar provides simple provisioning of guest accounts with appropriate use policy which means that guests can quickly and easily be added and removed from the school network
  • Sonar provides secure site-to-site communication and remote access, allowing perfect flexibility to securely access information anytime, anywhere
